The West is Driving in the Rearview Mirror: A Wake-Up Call from the Electrotech Revolution
24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Kingsmill Bond argues the West is deluding itself about the energy transition. The "electrotech revolution" led by solar, batteries, and EVs is already here, advancing exponentially, and is cheaper than fossil fuels. While emerging markets are embracing this, the West risks being left behind by its outdated assumptions and a linear mindset toward change.XCharge NA Is Now Leasing DC Fast Chargers To Small Businesses

22 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Horse Powertrain's C15 is a compact, Euro 7-compliant gasoline generator designed for extended-range EVs. It activates only when battery charge drops, offering 70 kW for sedans and 120 kW for larger vehicles. While efficient, it still emits 120–140 g CO₂/km when active. Backed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, Horse can mass-produce it—but OEM adoption is key. EREVs face pressure from falling battery costs and rising BEV capabilities.In Just 15 Years, No One Will Own an Electric Car - Here's What Will Replace Them Instead
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
EVs are central to a coming shift in mobility: by 2040, personal electric car ownership may disappear as automakers pivot to subscription-based, software-driven models. EVs will serve as platforms for autonomous fleets, shared transport, and tiered digital services. Younger users prefer access over ownership, and manufacturers are redesigning vehicles as connected devices - raising concerns over repair rights, data control, and user autonomy.US Firm Bids To Bring 'Flying Boats' to Scottish Islands Transport Network
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
US firm Regent is partnering with Scotland’s Hitrans to explore using electric "flying boats" called Seagliders for island transport. These vessels combine boat, hydrofoil, and low-altitude flight technologies, reaching speeds up to 180 mph. A 12-passenger model may launch in Orkney by 2026–2027, with a larger version planned for 2030. The project aims to improve connectivity and reduce emissions across the Highlands and Islands.

Tesla faces a prolonged labor strike in Sweden over its refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement. What began with 70 mechanics has grown into a nationwide solidarity movement, challenging Tesla's anti-union stance. The dispute highlights a clash between Silicon Valley individualism and Nordic labor consensus, raising global questions about the future of work, electrification, and corporate accountability.
Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
